A favorite of fans and of the fence-clearing subject, himself, photographer Raymond Gallo’s 1956 shot of Mickey Mantle in the Yankee dugout captured the Yankee superstar in the absolute prime of his Hall of Fame career. This poster board display has duplicated that likeness and is autographed by Mantle. Measuring 26 x 35”, the thick-stock Styrofoam board showcases the unforgettable image: a smiling Mantle on his way to a Triple Crown, fifth A.L. pennant and fourth World Series title – at the tender age of 24. Against the beige backdrop of the dugout bench, Mantle’s blue marker autograph projects (“10”) strength and clarity. Auction LOA from JSA.
